Agricultural machinery rides on trains to compete for overseas autumn harvest season
As autumn approaches, agricultural machinery exports are busy. Recently, 76 tractors are ready to depart at the China Europe freight train (Shenyang) assembly center, heading towards the vast fields of Europe along the Asia Europe land corridor. As the autumn harvest window approaches, the global enthusiasm for agricultural machinery procurement continues to rise. Many overseas merchants are turning their attention to domestically produced equipment shipped via the China Europe freight train. The export of agricultural machinery in the jurisdiction of Liaozhong Customs is experiencing a peak in business. How to seize the agricultural season to ensure efficient shipment and delivery of freight trains has become a practical concern for export enterprises.
The agricultural conditions in overseas markets are diverse, and the procurement needs are also varied. Relying on the China Europe Express, a major overland trade channel, spray, tractors, rotary tillers, seeders and other agricultural machinery and equipment go to sea in batches. Faced with different farming realities in various regions, a rich product matrix is adapted to different work scenarios, bidding farewell to the model of single product marketing. Large quantities and multiple categories of agricultural machinery are transported by train for export, which also puts forward more refined requirements for customs clearance protection.
The categories of agricultural machinery are complex and the application scenarios are different. Therefore, we make good use of the 'advance declaration+railway express' supervision mode, and formulate supervision plans based on equipment attribute classification. Enterprises can complete online declaration before shipping their goods, and local customs can handle relevant procedures in one stop. Declaration, inspection, and release form a complete loop, and the clearance time can be shortened by 1-2 days, "said Lu Zhiyao, head of the second supervision department of Liaozhong Customs. Through the hybrid shipping mode of "Quick Pass+Integration", agricultural machinery belonging to different declaration types can be shipped on the same train with consolidated cargo, effectively reducing the time loss caused by grouping together. In response to urgent orders from enterprises, the appointment clearance mechanism is synchronously activated to achieve instant reporting, review, and rapid disposal, achieving zero waiting for inspection and zero delay in customs clearance, effectively resolving the export congestion of peak season trains.
The transportation efficiency advantage of the China Europe freight train is obvious, coupled with a series of convenient measures taken by Shanghai Customs, the goods can be delivered to the destination with the train before the busy agricultural season overseas, greatly enhancing our confidence in exploring overseas markets and undertaking orders, "said Meng Xiangyu, the Chief Operating Officer of Liaoning Chengzhi Trading Co., Ltd. The dual support of train capacity and customs clearance services fully unleashes the overseas competitiveness of domestic agricultural machinery, driving a significant increase in export scale.
Overseas agricultural production is still ongoing, and the land export channels for domestic agricultural machinery to take the China Europe freight trains are constantly expanding. Next, Liaozhong Customs will continue to optimize its regulatory services, closely follow the business characteristics of exporting multi category agricultural machinery trains, refine guarantee measures, provide good enterprise services, and help more "Liao brand" agricultural machinery to deeply cultivate overseas markets through the China Europe freight trains.
